Unable to load withdrawal service availability
A blend of malt and grain whiskies, as the name suggests, this blend is the work of Ichiro Akuto, distiller and owner of Chichibu and independent bottler of some of Japan's rarest whiskies (Hanyu, Kawasaki etc.). Known for his blends of malts (Mizunara Wood Reserve, Wine Wood Reserve, Double Distilleries), Ichiro offers his blends in limited quantities outside Japan. Bottled at 46.5% alc, without chill filtration, this whisky is smooth, rich and full of character, demonstrating all the talents of its creator.
Ideal as an aperitif, it can be enjoyed at room temperature, and is the perfect accompaniment to olives and gyoza.
Profile:
Nose: Fruity, with notes of peach, apricot, citrus zest and banana. Malt, toffee and vanilla crème brulée notes give way to a lovely sweetness.
Palate: Delicately cereal-like, with notes of barley malt coated with toffee and honey. Spicy and fresh with gingerbread, black pepper, nutmeg, saffron, pipe tobacco and freshly cut hay. Gourmand with tropical fruit.
Finish: Balanced and fine, with vanilla and tropical fruit.

Founded in 2007 by Ichiro Akuto, grandson of the founder of the Hanyu distillery, Chichibu has been in operation since February 2008. Comprising two stills made to order in Scotland by Forsyth's, it is not only the first Japanese single malt distillery since Hakushu, but also the smallest and most confidential. Starting with a number of very young whisky vintages in 2008, the "newborn" range, Ichiro has been offering its first "real" whisky, a three-year-old brut de fût, since Whisky Live Paris 2011. Today, the distillery bottles its own whiskies up to 12 years old for its Chichibu and Ichiro's Malt ranges. The distillery also houses the latest stocks of Karuizawa, Kawasaki and Hanyu.
